O hail, happy day, that speaks our trials ended
Author: Anon. Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O hail, happy day, that speaks our trials ended;
Our Lord has come to take us home,
O hail, happy day!
No more by doubts or fears distressed,
We now shall gain our promised rest,
And be forever blest;
O hail, happy day!
2 Swell loud the glad note, our bondage now is over,
The jubilee proclaims us free,
O hail, happy day!
The day that brings a sweet release,
That crown our Jesus Prince of peace,
And bids our sorrows cease;
O hail, happy day!
3 O hail, happy day, that ends our tears and sorrows,
That brings us joy without alloy,
O hail, happy day!
There peace shall wave her scepter high,
And love's fair banner greet the eye,
Proclaiming victory;
O hail, happy day!
4 We hail thy bright beams, O morn of Zion's glory,
Thy blessed light breaks on our sight,
O hail, happy day!
Fair Beulah's fields before us rise,
And sweetly burst upon our eyes
The joys of Paradise;
O hail, happy day!
5 Thrice hail, happy day, when earth shall smile in gladness,
And Eden bloom o'er nature's tomb,
O hail, happy day!
Where life's pure waters gently glide,
Safe by the dear Redeemer's side,
Forever we'll abide;
O hail, happy day!

He's coming once again
Author: F. E. Belden Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He's coming once again,
To set his people free;
That where he is, in glory bright,
His saints may also be.
Then lift the drooping head,
Look up, rejoice and sing;
He comes, in majesty sublime,
Salvation's glorious King!
2 The earth shall quake with fear,
The heavens shall flee away;
And where shall guilty man appear
In that tremendous day?
No refuge then is nigh,
No shelter from the blast;
The night of vengeance vails the sky
When mercy's day is past.
3 His eyes of living flame,
The wicked shall devour;
No tongue will lightly speak the name
Of Jesus in that hour.
No scorn, no words of hate
For his meek followers then;
But prayers and tears that come too late
Will mark earth's mighty men. Topics: Second Advent Executive Judgment Used With Tune: VERDI

O exiled Paradise
Author: Anon. Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O exiled Paradise,
O how we long for thee!
When wilt thou robe the earth?
When plant life's healing tree?
O for thy smiling hills,
With gush of clear cascade!
Forever flowing rills,
By living waters made!
Thou hast fresh, blooming vales,
When glittering fountains play,
And sweet, sequestered dales,
Hid is thy groves away.
O exiled Paradise,
O how we long for thee!
When wilt thou robe the earth?
When plant life's healing tree?
2 O for thy fragrant flowers
That bloom through all the year!
O for thy rosy bowers,
The wilderness to cheer!
To thee we shall return,
And to Mount Zion come;
With songs sing joyfully,
And shout the "harvest home,"
Awake the harp and lute,
In praises to the King
Who reigns on David's throne,
To him hosannas bring.
3 Jesus shall ever reign,
When his bright kingdom comes;
The sun shall be ashamed
Before his dazzling thrones.
The moon, confounded, then
Shall hide her silver ray,
And saints of every age
Rejoice in glorious day.
O exiled Paradise,
O how I long for thee!
Robe thou anew the earth,
Bring back life's healing tree. Topics: Miscellaneous Old Melodies Used With Tune: PARADISE

The Saviour is coming, O children of light!
Author: W. H. Littlejohn Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Saviour is coming, O children of light!
With hosts of the angels, the angels of might,
Adown the bright azure, with banners of flame,
He'll come soon in triumph his loved ones to claim.
2 The trumpet long sounding, with notes loud and shrill,
The dead will awaken in valley and hill.
The touch of the Master we all soon shall feel;
He'll make us immortal, while glad anthems peal.
3 Away toward the city, the city of gold,
We'll mount with the Master, in numbers untold.
He'll deck every forehead with coronet bright,
He'll robe each believer in garments of white.
4 Through heaven's high portals we'll enter at last,
With shouts of rejoicing, our sorrows all past.
Along the bright river, the river of life,
We'll wander together, our souls free from strife.
5 With harps and with voices we'll join in the song
Of Moses, the faithful, and Jesus, the strong,
Then shout, O ye children, ye children of light,
The Saviour is coming: he's almost in sight! Topics: Second Advent Executive Judgment Used With Tune: CHARIOT

When the King of kings comes.

When the Judgment is begun;

All spotless to their Father shown,
And Jesus all his brethren own,
When the King of kings comes.
5 When the conqueror's hour comes,
When he with great power comes,
We shall have a joyful day,
When the King of kings comes;
To see all things by him restored,
And God himself alone adored
By all the saints, with one accord,
When the King of kings comes. Topics: Miscellaneous Old Melodies Used With Tune: WHEN THE KING OF KINGS COMES

Passed away from earth forever
Author: U. Smith Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Passed away from earth forever,
Free from all its cares and fears,
She again will join us never
While we tread this vale of tears;
For the turf is now her pillow,
And she sleeps among the dead;
While the cypress and the willow
Wave above her lowly bed.
2 With what grief and anguish riven
Should we see the loved depart,
If there were no promise given
Which could soothe the wounded heart!
If the chains with which death binds them
Ne'er again should broken be,
And his prison which confines them
Ne'er be burst to set them free!
3 But a glorious day is nearing,
Earth's long-wished-for jubilee,
When creation's King appearing,
Shall proclaim his people free;
When upborne on Love's bright pinion,
They shall shout from land and sea,
"Death, where is thy dark dominion!
Grave, where is thy victory!" Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: RESURRECTION

Where we can say we're free from sin.

Which he for us has fairly won.

O sweetly through the gloomy years
Author: H. L. Hastings Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O sweetly through the gloomy years
That roll their dimming vail between,
The promised goodly land appears
Arrayed in never fading green.
And from that peaceful, happy clime,
Transporting bursts of song arise,
And, rolling through the mist of time,
Tell us of joy that never dies.
2 As voyagers on the stormy deep
Look for some bright and sunny bay
Where winds and waves are hushed in sleep,
And joy lights up the happy day,
So o'er the tossing sea of years
We glance the eye and stretch the hand
Where, robed in fadeless light, appears
The border of the shining land.
3 There angel hosts of glorious ones,
With sinless hearts and stainless hands,
Call us in glad and loving tones,
And bid us welcome to their bands.
Hark! how their harps and voices tell
The glories of that radiant strand,
And bid us breast the waves that swell
Between us and the shining land.
4 Ear hath not heard, eye hath not seen,
The glories of that home of song;
Though stormy billows roll between,
I go to join the angel throng.
But of the joys beyond the tide,
The welcomes on that golden strand,
The best shall be from Him who died
To bring me to the shining land. Topics: Reward of Saints Used With Tune: ETHAN
